CCLI Number: 2450801

Here is another song cowritten with Larry. It all started as a melody that I sent him. Larry wrote the incredible lyrics and made major changes to the music. The results are definitely wonderful. Larry and I made this recording when practicing for a prison concert in 1999. Check out Larry's popular web site for more songs. - Elton October 14, 1997

The Lord shall return to Jerusalem,
And over all the earth shall reign.
Then peace shall be found in Jerusalem,
As the lion lies in peace with the lamb.

As the waters flow where the desert stood,
As the heart of man seeks the others' good,
They shall know a new day is dawning
In Jerusalem!
And my heart cries out, "Even so, Lord, come!"
Bring Your peace and Truth; make each heart Your home,
Enter through the Gate with new rejoicing
Into Jerusalem!

The Lord shall return to Jerusalem,
And over all the earth shall reign.
Then peace shall be found over all the earth,
As the lion lies in peace with the lamb.

As the waters flow where the desert stood,
As the heart of man seeks the others' good,
They shall know a new day is dawning
In Jerusalem!
And my heart cries out, "Even so, Lord, come!"
Bring Your peace and Truth; make each heart Your home,
Enter through the Gate with new rejoicing
Into Jerusalem!

The Lord shall return to Jerusalem,
And over all the earth shall reign.
Then peace shall be found in Jerusalem,
As the lion lies in peace with the lamb.
As the lion lies in peace with the lamb.

This is an awesome song. My friend has just returned from visiting Jerusalem and she wanted me to sing a song in keeping with the theme when she showed her pictures. This fit the bill perfectly. I have been praying for the Lord's return. Lynne Judkins2016-10-16
